1. Mix the harissa with half the lemon juice, 1 tbsp coriander and some salt and rub it all over the chicken. Lay it flat on a baking sheet and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, put the couscous in a bowl, add a cupful of boiling water, cover and leave for 5 minutes. Mix in some seasoning, the rest of the lemon juice and coriander, the mint and the butter beans. Serve the chicken with the couscous.

  I find that a chicken stock cube in the boiling water for the couscous works well.

  This was so easy and so tasty - have used chicken breasts as well as thighs and it works well on both

  This was very tasty but rather dry. I'll make again but will probably serve with some roasted tomatoes to provide some moisture.
